Why....? If she was a British woman he met online would that be a red flag...?

I think the whole idea that she would have called to check is a bit far fetched (for lack of a better word) because I was never even aware you could do that personally. Plus, had she called to check this info would surely have been released by now because records must be kept? It took them a week or so to even realise that the guy is a suspect.
I do think it's a case of either being told she's being followed/something of the like where she thinks she could be in danger or being trusting of police officers because she has a history with them where they are approachable or generally trusts them.
Maybe I'm naive, but if an 'unmarked' car stopped me and said I was being followed, warrant card or not, I wouldn't be going in the car. I know you can't always say exactly what you would do, but I'd like to think that I'd thank them for warning me and ask them to wait with me whilst I called my dad/friend/etc etc. I just cannot see myself getting in an unmarked car, willingly.
Why??????? Sorry I don’t see why either of those things have any bearing on what he has (potentially) done??
We’ve already discussed this in depth. Read the thread back a few pages.
Honestly had the same thought process but as I mentioned, I have seen police in Durham be very helpful to students and she had studied there before. It's easy to see that I would probably be more trusting of them now for that exact reason, especially if it's dark and I want to get home quickly
Realistically, there really shouldn't be a reason why I can't trust someone who is a police officer unless they're not in uniform or have a badge on them
That's good for you. Sadly, I can see myself getting in with enough persuasion given the power dynamic, especially if he was in uniform.
been a couple murders and stabbing and shootings up in Newcastle that have warranted large sections of areas cordoned off
I know what you're saying, but I genuinely think a lone guy in an unmarked car flashing a badge wouldn't be enough to convince me. I guess more worrying is that if there were 2 in the car, I'd be more likely to trust that.
Oh definitely, if he was in uniform I could definitely see myself complying too. Plain clothes, being alone and in an unmarked car would bother me.
Have they released what car he was driving? I have grown up around the police and I know what sort of cars are used for unmarked vehicles. I guess that would be another red flag to me.
I think it just depends on the type of person you are to be honest. I’m quite nervous and shy, so while I would question it in my mind I don’t think it would be hard to get me in the car, because I would be so afraid of what would happen if I didn’t
I have met a few very unsavoury men in the past. The thing that scares me is that these men have high positions of power in their jobs. They will make one comment in a social setting that makes you think they are sexual predators. Also, the point about her looking younger, a lot of powerful men like younger women (possibly because they think they can control them). There are lots of things that must go through the mind of a man like this.
I’ve been in taxi’s before where the man driving has been a bit dodgy. I’ve thought to myself what my plan would be, how I would leave evidence, how I would harm him on the face so he couldn’t easily hide it. Things like pulling out my hair, spitting on the interiors, breaking some nails off and scratching his face and the car to get evidence under my nails. One driver in particular I was so worried about that I kept saying to myself that I need to mess up his face so if anything happens to me my mum would know I fought hard for my life. It’s horrendous.
When I told this to a guy I trusted he said that I was being too emotional and laughed.
It doesn't seem to be a thing in the UK.
Here in Canada/North America, it is.
I guess we just don't know. He might have asked her about breaching lockdown and then threatened to arrest her if she didn't comply and get in the car. I mean, who knows what fuckery and evil lies a psychopath could come up with. As others have mentioned, it could also have been done with force.
Yeah but they did bring in portacabins? Large forensic teams? Massive amounts of police?diving teams? That’s why it’s suspicious they’re still doing searches
for two of them they did but I think it was more of who the suspects were on these crimes
Two big crime families up here so I think it was more of a case of making sure everything was done by the book to make sure the evidence stuck
Is this in Kent? Horrifying
It's just so awful and I truly hope she didn't suffer or have to go through that 'oh sh!t...' feeling that she had made the wrong choice. It's really so desperately sad.
